Tin is a malleable, silvery post transition metal widely used in alloys such as bronze and in solder.
Properties of Tin | It resists corrosion in many environments, forms stable +2 and +4 oxidation states and alloys readily with other metals.
Uses of Tin | Tin is mined from cassiterite and used in solder, plating, alloys and food safe coatings for containers.
Isotopes of Tin | Stable isotopes include Sn 112 to Sn 124; tin compounds vary in toxicity and organotin compounds require careful handling.
